Our son is about to exchange on a new build apartment in Winslow with a home loan from Virgin Money. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Virgin Money conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
When can the exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Winslow and am I required to be at the solicitors office?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Winslow you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the firms we work with supply a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the property agreement is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Winslow)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Winslow registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. As of today roughly 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the property so an expedited registration is not typically top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
My wife and I may need to let out our Winslow ground floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Winslow conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Winslow do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain given your reluctance to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Winslow conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of buyers would apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland and arrange for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to move forward with the conveyancing in Winslow.
